I think we’ll go with the 3 + Jack who can cover, unless anyone gets a major injury before the window shuts and forces our hand. Suppose there’s still one more loan place that we could use though. It’s only one more from a Scottish club I think - if we were getting a loan from down south (or basically anywhere not Scottish) then we can get as many as we want. Which is a possibility, I’d imagine. 5 minutes ago, Thistle_do_nicely said: kinda agree but I reckon we'd be more likely to have Milne as an emergency CB. Still comfortable on the ball and can head the ball pretty far, plus doesn't disrupt the Lawless/McMillan partnership down the right that works well for getting us into the opposition penalty area a lot of the time. Given that McMillan has played at centre back for us before, I would say it’s much more likely to be him asked to cover. As much as I like Milne, I think he’s not as disciplined defensively as McMillan is, and would get caught out as centre half through that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mediocre Pundit Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 We’ve still got Charlie Mulgrew to come in - that should sort us at centre back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would ordinarily agree with doing this but I think McMillan is just too good as an offensive wing back to waste him at centre half. Especially with his great understanding with Lawless down the right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he only had the one spell missing for us at the end of the season. He had a couple of lengthy spells out at Cove and think he was one of the ones out for Thistle during that horrible spell round about that Aberdeen cup game where half the first team got crocked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn’t. From memory, Holt, Docherty and Tiffoney were out then (and maybe another one?) but Milne played every game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So did Holt, Docherty and Tiffoney actually, although Holt took a bad knock in that game and was missing for a bit after it. You’re right that Milne played most of the season up until his injury near the end. He made 28 league appearances - and of the 8 games he missed, 7 of them were in his injured spell at the end of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistle4eva Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 I’m really happy Milnes signed on for a year, but am I the only person that thinks he’s pretty terrible defensively? Maybe I’m over reacting because he’s been out for so long and is obviously just getting match sharpness back. What he brings to the team obviously excuses it but, I’m just wondering if I’m the only person that thinks it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s better going forward than he is defensively, but under no circumstances could he be described as terrible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does get caught occasonally at the back but overall he is probably one of the best at our level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDonald should be a decent winger for you too, based on this. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that’s obvious, but when you combine @RandomGuy. chart with the fact that a large majority of people who have actually watched Harry Milne class him as the best full back at whatever level he’s been at, there’s probably something in it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think Milne is terrible defensively, I can only assume you've never watched literally any other full back in this division try to defend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thistle_do_nicely Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 sigh. had a feeling this season was going to be tricky what with losing holt, turner, docherty and tiffoney, but its frustrating that we've started so badly. Chucking away two leads in a row in the league is alarming. Still willing to cut Doolan some slack, but its feeling like we're not going to get any wins in August which is... kinda shite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
